Pallets

After and Before:



Underneath our deck is U-G-L-Y.  I've been trying to figure out what to do to hide it.  I saw an online tutorial on instructables.com on how to create a hanging herb garden from a door shoe rack organizer.  it seemed like a great idea...but I worried that I'd be spending $30 on something that was going to rot by the end of the summer.  Cue the craigslist free section..pallets!  Off to Lowes to buy a staple gun, some landscape fabric to line the back of the pallets with and a bag of dirt.  The left pallet is all veggies and herbs, the right one is annuals and a few perennials.  Cross your fingers this little experiment works!

love it! It is a brills idea for hiding the fugly under-the-deck area. You are a clever girl, and Molbak's has this same thing (only fancier of course) for about a zillion bucks. So yay for being thrifty.
